Six or more cups of coffee daily cut the risk of men getting diabetes by more than 50 percent compared to men who didn’t drink coffee at all. Drinking six cups daily trimmed the diabetes risk for women by nearly 30 percent.

A Swedish study published in 2011 reported that drinking one or more cups of coffee a day will lower risk of getting a stroke by 22 to 25 percent. More than 34,000 women were followed for slightly more than 10 years.

The caffeine increases the blood pressure, but it does not post any risk of increasing cardiovascular diseases. Coffee is said to help with endurance and also help block out pain.

Drinking one to three cups of coffee per day reduced the risk of fatal prostate cancer in men by 30 percent.

Mood Booster
A study by Harvard School of Public Health has found that women that drink coffee regularly were at a 20 percent lower risk of depression compare to women that do not drink coffee. More than 50,000 women participated in the study. A study in Finland showed similar results in men that drink coffee versus men that do not drink coffee.
